  1. Hi, I've replaced the indicator stalk with a used one on my Mk2 Octavia as the original stopped working. The original had cruise control which worked and the replacement does however this is the only feature to the replacement that does not work. Is it just a case of using VCDS to enable it to work? Any guidance will be appreciated.
  2. I'm thinking about selling my '53 plate vrs estate. I would just like an estimate on how much I could possibly get for it. It has covered just over 85000 miles from new and I have previous MOT's to back this up. The car has got age related marks. There is slight damage to the front bumper and to the back near nice corner. I will add photos to show this. Any info, or questions would be gratefully accepted! Cheers.
  3. Thanks for the reply, I'm sorry but this is all new to me. Is it something any auto electrician can sort or do I need main dealer? Will I be looking at an expensive bill once rectified? Many thanks.
  4. Hello, Yesterday I had the battery changed in my key fob as the central locking wasn't working. I went to my car, started it and drove it 1/4 of a mile. Stopped, turned the car off and left the keys in the ignition while chatting to someone. The lights were switched to the 'on' position. We needed some light so I switched the ignition on so dipped beam came on. I presume I had a weak battery as when I tried to start it, there wasn't enough juice to turn over the starter motor but I noticed the car immobiliser light (yellow light in the shape of a car with key underneath) was flashing. As the dash lights were still on, I tried to bump start the car to no avail. I then tried with Jump leads, which had the same outcome. I got towed home, charged the battery over night and have re-fitted today. The car turns over, starts and then immediately stops with the immobiliser light still flashing. This is happening with the 'main' key I use which had the new battery and also the spare key I have. Has anyone had this problem before, and has having the battery changed in the key caused this? I need a fix asap as I have no other means of a car. Any info would be gratefully appreciated on how I could sort this and get going again. Thanks.

  6. Hi guy's Just a quickie. I recently sold my Fabia Vrs SE and got a vw. The car has the Navigation system in, and a CD changer. The cd changer has been disconnected and ipod adapter put in its place. Is there an option out there for both the CD changer and the Ipod prep. to be connected at the same time. Any help would be appreciated. The car is on a '57 plate. Cliveus.

  14. Hey, wanting to know if I can get heated seats in the front seats of my VRS Special edition. Any information would be greatly appreciated, also where I couldget it done Many thanks.
  15. Yeah, Lightcliffe has been taken over. They sold the VW dearlership at Shelf, the dealership in Huddersfield to DM Keith as they lost so much money, and Lightcliffe to a firm from Manchester. They sacked Tim from Hx Skoda and put in the manager who was in the Huddersfield branch. Bearing in mind, this is the manager that lost all the money in Huddersfield, where is leading Lightcliffe Skoda Halifax?
